01-28186. Amergen Vermont, LLC; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Approval of Indirect License Transfer

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has permitted the withdrawal by AmerGen Vermont, LLC of its February 28, 2000, application, as supplemented on May 12, June 1, and June 28, 2000, for consent to the indirect transfer of Facility Operating License No. DPR-28 for the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station, located in Windham County, Vermont.

The proposed indirect license transfer would have occurred in connection with the restructuring of AmerGen Vermont, LLC's parent organization following the direct transfer of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station operating license from Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation to AmerGen Vermont, LLC. The direct transfer to AmerGen Vermont, LLC, previously approved by the Commission, will no longer occur.

The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Approval of Transfer of facility operating license published in the Federal Register on July 19, 2000 (65 FR 44841). However, by letter dated August 27, 2001, the applicant withdrew the request for approval.

For further details with respect to this action, see the license transfer application dated February 28, 2000, supplements dated on May 12, June 1, and June 28, 2000, and the applicant's letter dated August 27, 2001, which withdrew the application.
